Breadcrumb function with heading structure for WordPress [PHP]

My coworker wanted breadcrumbs where the ancestry went from h1 all the way down to as deep as you are for one of our clients’ website, and so I wrote this little function for him:

<?php
    function hawt_breadcrumb() {
        global $post;

        $pages = array();

        $pages[] = array(get_permalink(), get_the_title());

        $parent = $post->post_parent;
        while($parent) {
            $pages[] = array(get_permalink($parent), get_the_title($parent));
            $parent = get_post($parent)->post_parent;
        }   

        $i = 1;
        foreach(array_reverse($pages) as $page) {
            echo "<h$i>$page[1]</h$i>";
            $i++;
        }   
    }   
?>

Might as well share it in case someone is in the need of something similar. :)
